Communications Manager / 086-176-9287

Back to our staff
A man wearing glasses, a button-up shirt, and a blazer stands against a plain background. He has short, neatly-combed hair and a slight smile. The image is in black and white.

I joined The Wheel as  Communications Officer in May 2009. In my current role as Communications Manager, I’m responsible for the organisation’s communications strategy, media relations and brand positioning.

I am also involved in developing communications strategies for a range of programmes and services, and I deliver specialised training in Communications & Marketing.

I studied Political Science and Journalism before cutting my teeth in the worlds of journalism, book publishing, publicity and digital marketing, both in Ireland and South Africa. My areas of expertise include media relations, social media, publishing and strategic communications.

In my spare time, you’ll find me with my nose buried in a book, in the cinema, playing my guitar or rambling through the countryside.

You are very welcome to get in touch: [email protected].
